Here is an overview of the dust collector at work: https://youtu.be/OkrVzNIyfxI Find the full files at onshape: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e8cd35111d8b865d283fe5c1/w/50f2ed7928f46b5787cdfb48/e/59b4f5a90372c0cf3f68d703?renderMode=0&uiState=62d461379e8b514d84a562df This is a variant of this version, which uses an older z-gantry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq3LlhZMwkM Print 4 of the connectors from the rods to the plates from the above file linked from his youtube video. You will need 4 of these (buy 1 set of 8): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076NWK2NK and two of these 8mm x 400mm rods (make sure to get 8mm): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085DQYQYH?psc=1 The connectors use 4mm button head bolts 10mm and nylock nuts, plus some longer 4mm bolts with flat heads (depends on how thick your acrylic is). I used an Acrylic piece that is 5.5 mm thick. The top is just plywood. Glue the two LMU holders together with superglue. I used #6 screws, 1/2", to mount the LMU holders. I included the files for a shifted LMU holder, which might be good for the two top mounts to provide a little more friction in case the rods slide too easily.
